MEWP VR Simulator
The SIMS MEWP VR Simulator delivers advanced training and assessment for operators of mobile elevating work platforms.
Combining motion-based simulation, immersive VR environments, and real equipment controls, the system enables operators to develop the spatial awareness, positioning precision, and decision-making required for safe MEWP operation in complex environments.
Organizations use the simulator to strengthen operator competence, standardize evaluation processes, and reduce operational risk while training in a controlled, consequence-free environment.
Supported Equipment:
Advanced Operator Training & Certification
With 97% predictivity of real-world operator performance, the SIMS MEWP VR Simulator provides a level of realism that allows operators to be evaluated and certified using simulation-based testing.
Approved training providers can use the simulator to deliver structured testing and certification programs within a controlled VR environment. Supported certification and training programs include:
- IPAF PAL card renewals
- IPAF PAL+ advanced licenses
- Energy Safety Canada Certificates of Recognition
- ANSI / CSA A92-compliant operator assessments
Simulation-based certification provides a reliable and efficient alternative to traditional equipment-based testing.
Organizations can assess and certify operators without:
- Tying up real equipment
- Requiring dedicated training yards
- Risking weather-related cancellations.
This enables consistent operator evaluation and training delivery across locations.
The MEWP VR Simulator includes a broad library of training and assessment scenarios designed to support operators at all skill levels.
Scenarios range from foundational skills training to advanced operational tasks, helping operators build confidence and jobsite readiness before working on live equipment. Developed in collaboration with industry experts, the training scenarios focus on:
During each session, the simulator captures dozens of performance data points to evaluate operator behavior and provide targeted recommendations for improvement.
Specialized Aviation Training
Operating MEWPs around aircraft requires exceptional precision and situational awareness. Even minor contact with an aircraft can lead to significant operational disruption and repair costs.
The MEWP VR Simulator includes over 20 task-based scenarios specifically designed for aircraft maintenance environments, allowing operators to practice positioning and maneuvering equipment safely near aircraft. These scenarios help organizations:
- Assess operator proficiency
- Identify skill gaps
- Strengthen operator confidence and precision.
All training is conducted in a risk-free virtual environment, eliminating the possibility of equipment damage during training.
ESP Scoring™ Performance Analytics
Traditional operator evaluation often relies on instructor observation, which can be subjective and limited in scope.
SIMS’ ESP Scoring™ system uses machine telemetry to capture and analyze operator behavior during simulation sessions. The system evaluates performance across multiple operational metrics and breaks results into two key components:
- Efficiency
- How effectively the operator completes tasks
- Safety
- How safely equipment is operated during the scenario
These factors are combined to generate an overall Proficiency Score, providing an objective measurement of operator competence. This data-driven approach allows organizations to:
- Identify performance trends
- Detect potential risk behaviors
- Support targeted coaching and training improvements
Discover how simulation can strengthen operator training and improve operational safety in your industry.
